The difference between Guts and Balls

[AnOther]

Guts and balls

There is a medical

distinction and we've all heard about people having guts or balls, but do

you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you

informed, the definitions are listed below:

GUTS - Is arriving

home late after a night out with the boys, being met by your wife with

a broom, and having the guts to ask: ''Are you still cleaning, or are

you flying somewhere?''

BALLS - Is coming home late after a

night out with the boys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your

collar, slapping your wife on the arse and having the balls to say:

''You're next, fatty.''

I hope this clears up any confusion on

the definitions. Medically speaking, there is no difference in the

outcome, since both ultimately result in death.

There is no difference. Both of them are very vulgar.

Now which vulgar did Hyacinth mean? The joke is not really any of these.

1.	characterized by ignorance of or lack of good breeding or taste: vulgar ostentation.

2.	indecent; obscene; lewd: a vulgar work; a vulgar gesture.

3.	crude; coarse; unrefined: a vulgar peasant.

4.	of, pertaining to, or constituting the ordinary people in a society: the vulgar masses.

5.	current; popular; common: a vulgar success; vulgar beliefs.

6.	spoken by, or being in the language spoken by, the people generally; vernacular: vulgar tongue.

7.	lacking in distinction, aesthetic value, or charm; banal; ordinary: a vulgar painting.

I do like definitions 3 and 4

What is good breeding?

How can beliefs be vulgar(5)?

These definitions are really crass, aren't they. Looks like bad dictionary work to me.

Now, if I say our Ernie has a vulgar tongue or keyboard what does it mean?

Frith, this just looks like a language teachers worksheet.

i think that vulgar means "of the crowd, people" , from the latin "vulgus"- sort of lower class.
